The obvious fix to me is to have FileIO.close() call IOBase.close() to invoke the flush() before continuing with its own closing. This is what Serhiy’s patches appear to do, so I agree with them in general. I do wonder what the point of duplicating test code in test_io and test_fileio is. The only difference seems to be calling open() versus calling FileIO() directly. Wouldn’t it be better to merge the code together, or maybe just assert open() returns a FileIO instance? ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5700> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
